Definitely at least 4.5 but I'd believe 5.5. That's a big main frame 8. I'm thinking he's around 160 give or take a few inches.

I think the beer googles might be on.....
That would be literally the biggest 3 year old eight I've ever seen.

My first thought was 4, 140s. But I'm not the best at aging.

4.5 in the 140's

I just don't see it. He's got 5.5 base mass and not a measurement under 4 inches. 2&3's are 10-11 inches and carets mass the whole way.
Mass 40
Main beams 46
Spread 18
Tines 50
That's 154 total inches
He's not streamlined enough in the body for a 3.5 year old IMO. 3 year olds resemble a race horse and typically can't carry that kind of mass throughout the rack. He also appears to dress over 200 which would again be a giant for 3.
Maybe I'm crazy but 3 yr old never crossed my mind....

In general I think environment stress affects antler growth more than we know. I also think it varies greatly when a deer peaks from 4.5 up to about 8.5.

Outside of a not as large as normal head I don't see anything to support the 3 yr old theory. What do you see that I'm missing?

I'm thinking 4.5 but more like 5.5. Sway back, saggy belly, thick neck that meets the chest with nearly no differential between the two. He also has a little bit of grey starting it looks like. Score wise he should gross mid 50's I would say. Sweet deer regardless of age or score!

These are generous numbers...JMO. I think large pictures on a screen can mess with your ability to determine a guess on score, much like a small picture.
His exact age idk, but he's not in his prime and has potential to add inches in the next 2 years. Probably 4.5 and probably mid 140's.

Pretty good math, it takes a heck of a 4 x 4 to get in the 150's let alone in the 160's. first glance always gets me close and he has a 140 inch frame. I agree on the 23 inch main beams using a 7 inch ruler like his ear. He probably does gross in the low 150's but will net in the high 140's. I have a buck on the wall I tool in Davis County a few years ago and it reminds of him especially his height. Age, I don't say much and give numbers there but it's fun ready everyone's thoughts. He has some growing left to do and like most bucks would be tough to pass.
